[QUOTE="LoganDon, post: 1792456, member: 30145"] At 76, I am shooting the best of my life. A few years ago, I was shooting 4" groups wondering what happened to my good groups. I talked with a real benchrest shooter and he had me shoot a known gun, a 6PPC. He shot less than 1/4" consistently but I shot a large group. Went back to basics, breath control, trigger squeeze, and dry firing. It is a mental game. Now I am back shooting less than 1" groups as I concentrate before each shot.Shot this years buck at a little over 200yds exactly where I aimed. Just walk away from the big magnums as the recoil is just too much for older persons. [/QUOTE]
